noun

The boxes expanded from their usual spots on city street corners to motel lobbies, resorts and fast-food drive-throughs.

Remote order-taking at drive-throughs - the latest trend in restaurant technology - is part of a broader effort by the industry to migrate some communication duties from in-store workers to off-site proxies.

Many of these neighborhoods were like drive-throughs, with people waiting in line to buy drugs instead of fast food.
